Ever since I bought my iPhone, I have been finding little things here and there where I am pleasantly surprised. Last night, I had just taken the phone off the charger and set it aside to do something else.

I frantically patted my pockets, searching for the missing item. Moments ago, it had been right here, and now it had vanished. Despite my thorough investigation, the object remained elusive, slipping through my increasingly anxious search like a phantom.

A glimmer of possibility flickered in my mind, a fragile thread of hope I barely dared to grasp. I raised my voice, “Seri, where are you?” The silence hung suspended for a heartbeat before I heard the familiar voice crisp and clear: “I’m right over here.”

As I turned towards the source of the sound, a wave of astonishment washed over me. The illuminated screen cast a soft glow, clearly revealing the location. While the added lighting was a thoughtful feature, I couldn’t help but feel a twinge of frustration. The object was in easy reach and was clearly visible.

As I retrieved my phone, a flood of memories washed over me, reminding me of the countless frustrating moments spent hunting for my previous device, desperately calling it in hopes of a faint ring. This time, however, the recovery felt different—a welcome relief rather than a stressful ordeal. Given my notorious forgetfulness and penchant for misplacing items, this newfound tracking feature promises to be an invaluable ally in my daily life.
